Abstract excerpt
The type II secretion system (T2SS) functions as a transport mechanism to translocate proteins from the periplasm to the extracellular environment. The ExeA homologue in Aeromonas hydrophila, GspA(Ah), is an ATPase that interacts with peptidoglycan and forms an inner membrane complex with the ExeB homologue (GspB(Ah)). The complex may be required to generate space in the peptidoglycan mesh that is necessary for...
